Cash-strapped shoppers shift toward discount stores, says Harris survey

摘要

Shoppers are shopping more at the hard discounters as the economy worsens, the latest Harris Interactive (HI) Omnibus survey for Food Manufacture has revealed. These findings emerged as the latest Office for National Statistics figures showed sales volume in food outlets overall fell 0.1% in the three months to September. Out of 827 people across the UK who professed in the HI survey to shop at Aldi, Lidl and Netto, more than a third said that they had bought food and drink there more frequently in the past six months.
